Magical Peru with TreXperience – Best Trip Ever!
Great operator for an unforgettable experience
We had great guides (Jose and Yovani) that guided us through the 4 days. Jose was very knowledgeable and kept us organized :) the food was amazing, a lot of veggie options and you never went hungry. It’s tough watching the porters sweat with those huge backpacks, so pack very lightly and carry as much as you can yourself.

Amazing and unforgettable once in a lifetime trekking experience!
Once in a life time trekking experience to get upclose and personal with the Peruvian Andes with the highest point up to 4‘600km above sea level. Big applauses go to our guide Anthony Z. who made sure that everyone is being best taken care of from a safety and pace perspective. Despite hiking long distances in thin air, the group is pampered by five star chefs Ismael and Tibu around the clock. Not only we have seen Machu Picchu, we have also made lifelong friends and family through this magical experience!

Ultimate Salkantay Trek 5 Days to Machu Picchu
The 5-Day Salkantay Trek with TreXperience was the adventure of a lifetime. Our guide, Anthony, didn’t just lead us, he cared for us like family. He kept the group safe, set a perfect pace, and shared stories and insights that made the Andes come alive. Every day felt thoughtfully planned and joyfully executed. A huge shout-out to our chefs, Ismael and Tibu, who turned camp meals into something we looked forward to! Every day fresh, delicious, and amazing! The effort this team poured into our experience was obvious in the big things (safety, logistics, comfort) and the small touches that made us feel seen and taken care of. Unforgettable from start to finish. If you’re considering a guided trek, stop searching and book TreXperience and if given the chance ask for Anthony! You’ll be in the best hands. Thank you for making our Peru trip unique, personal, and truly memorable.

Inca Trail 4 Days – Small Groups & Vistadome Train
It’s hard to put into words how extraordinary our luxury Inca Trail trek to Machu Picchu truly was. From the moment we were met in Cusco by our guides and support team, we knew this was going to be something special, not just a hike, but a deeply moving, flawlessly orchestrated journey through history, nature, and culture. Every detail had been thought of. Our guides were knowledgeable, full of warmth and humor, weaving stories of Incan engineering, ancient rituals, and mountain legends into each day’s trek. They had a sense for when to pause for photos, when to rest, and when to simply stand in silence as the clouds rolled across the Andes. The staff, the team of porters, chefs, and support crew were nothing short of heroic. Somehow, while we hiked with light packs, they would race ahead to set up an immaculate campsite! Reaching Machu Picchu on the final day felt like the culmination of something much greater than a hike, it was a pilgrimage. Our guides secured the perfect timing to enter through the Sun Gate just as the first light hit the citadel. This journey exceeded every expectation of comfort, care, and connection. The professionalism and heart of every guide, porter, chef, and organizer turned a challenging trek into an unforgettable, soul-stirring experience. If you’re dreaming of the Inca Trail and want to do it in absolute style and comfort, this is the team to trust.

We had a fabulous time on the Short Inca Trail. It was difficult but the view at the end made it all worth the effort! Roseml was an excellent tour guide and the porters, chefs and support staff were absolutely amazing. I can't imagine carrying all of those supplies up that trail. . .we had enough with just our own small backpack! So happy that we did this tour.

This was a fantastic adventure! TreXperience was world class. The planning process was smooth and easy with Rosmel Roque, and the guided tour was fantastic. Our guide was Rosmel, he was excellent. Extremely knowledgeable, fun to be around, and he went above and beyond his duties to insure we had a great trip! Thank you TreXperience!

A very well organised trip with an outstanding guide Juan de Dios. The 3 meals a day were freshly prepared, tastefull and had a great variety of dishes. The logistics of the tour were perfect, nowhere to wait. Our stuff, not being part of the daypack, was always delivered by the staff before we arrived. We enjoyed the 5 day trail and group dynamics every minute.

We just got back from the most magical trip to Peru and I had to write this review. We booked a 2-day Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu tour through TreXperience, and everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Peru is so beautiful and the people are amazing, and TreXperience made it all completely stress-free. A huge shoutout to Rosmel, who was outstanding. He helped us with all of our bookings and the entire trip was perfectly planned. He always found us the best prices and customized things exactly how we wanted. What impressed us most was that he even answered our calls during his lunch break and on his day off. He was so friendly, kind, and professional – you can really tell he cares about his clients and wants them to have the best experience. Our tour guide, Jason, was also incredible. He went above and beyond for us the whole time. He was very knowledgeable, explained the history and culture in a way that was easy to follow, and always gave us the best suggestions for photos, food, and timing. Jason truly made our trip unforgettable and made sure we had the best time ever. We were on a girls’ trip and we felt very safe and comfortable with him the entire time. The drivers TreXperience sent were also excellent – always on time, careful, and respectful. The rides felt safe and smooth, which made a huge difference with all the early mornings and winding roads. Overall, TreXperience went above and beyond in every way. Everything ran smoothly, and we could just relax and enjoy the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. Truly the best trip ever – I would 100% recommend TreXperience, especially working with Rosmel and Jason, to anyone planning a trip to Cusco.
